Besides hardware, the same software features that are on the LG G2 are on this tablet as well. Three neat features include knock on which allows you to turn on the display by simply tapping your fingers on the screen. Qslide enables the device to run three different apps on the screen at the exact same time for great multitasking. And Qpair lets the user pair any Jelly bean device with the G Pad, allowing the user get calls and messages.
